If you have any questions please email at: georgianngvvillacorta@ukmm.com . This is my second v-10 TDI. When i was blessed w 3 kids in a short period of time back in 2006 i made the mistake
of selling my 1st TDI and trying to pretend i could accept a minivan. The guy before me paid $85,000 sticker price.
There are only a couple hundred of these cars in existence in the U.S. and it is most definitely a collectors item.
The car has never been in an accident and over 28 years neither have I.
In addition to aforementioned options and maintenance last fall i had the drive shaft replaced which is a common
item to fail according to TDI forums around 75K miles. Also don't discount the 2 new batteries. Its an $1,900 job
to do w factory OEM batteries which this car has. The car needs nothing and has given me zero problems other than
the drive shaft breaking up. In Spring-14 i had new brakes and rotors all around done which was about 8K miles ago
rubber and pads are new all around.
This car is a monster and you wouldn't know it unless you had the guts to keep your foot to the floor. She pushes
620ft lb of torque as only a TDI does, as long as you can have the balls to keep your foot down. Unlike a gasoline
engine there are almost imperceptible shift points, the acceleration is unrelenting. And she will pull like that
with 2,5, or 10K lbs in tow just the same. For the record I only towed once for a friend and as i mentioned above
the hitch is factory and prewired.
Lets just say the AWD system mated to this twin turbo v-10 diesel is really impressive. The quality and
workmanship inside and out is very German. When the turbos spin up and you have the windows down you can hear the
whistle of these things spinning up anyone walking down the street knows this is not just another Toureg. I have
been stuck in 2-3' of snow up in NH or the Northeast on some fairly epic snowstorms the past two winters and this
truck at >6,000lbs is a tank in the snow. Holds the line and never ever gets stuck, not once. Even more
impressive to me is who she tracks at the limit in the ice and snow very assuring and easy to read. How well does
the AWD work? Watch a v-10 TDI pull a duramax monster truck down the road search toureg tdi truck pull on youtube.
The car is unmodified and as you can see by the pictures in showroom new condition. I am a pilot and well you can
expect this car has been treated like a private jet because it has. Why am i selling? Answer: I'm not sure
exactly yet. My kids have horses and well if i'm going to be towing a bunch or stinky horse people around its
probably not a great use of this high end luxury SUV.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Prop-driven VW Beetle hopes to land in Bonneville [w/video]

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Sometimes you meet folks who, when they tell you "Hey, I have an idea," your reflex response is to stop what you're doing and tell yourself, "Get ready...." We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine - as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars - but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured from an M2 tank.
In the image above Nieman is using the tank clutch hub to get the motor set up, but in one of the images below you can see what really belongs back there is: a two-inch, reverse-pitch prop taken from a wind generator. He says there's enough mojo with the propeller action to get the car rolling down the runway like a jet when he gives it gas - and speaking of gas, the engine's been refitted to run on propane.
After a few safety tweaks Nieman's going to take the matte-black Beetle to Bonneville, "put the prop on, let her go and see what happens!" We can't wait to see the video of that. There are two shakedown videos below to get you ready.

Volkswagen Passat gets Wolfsburg Edition, priced from $23,495*

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Volkswagen has just announced a new Passat Wolfsburg Edition, which slots between the base S and mid-grade SE trims in terms of content and price. The automaker has not released any official photos of the car as of this writing (aside from the badge shot you see here, of course), but the Wolfsburg Passat will be visually set apart from the rest by a unique set of 16-inch alloy wheels.
The big host of upgrades for the Wolfsburg Edition are found inside, where buyers will enjoy standard amenities like leatherette seats (with bun-warmers on the front chairs), a power driver's seat, satellite radio and a media interface with iPod connectivity. Of course, this comes on top of the already standard Passat features like Bluetooth and auto on/off headlamps. The Wolfsburg Passat will only be available with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Look for the 2013 Wolfsburg Edition Passat to hit dealerships in the very near future, priced from $23,495, *not including $795 for destination. Have a look below for Volkswagen's official press blast.
